Government Recall: Civil Liberties

By AAN Staff

One phrase that has not been
synonymous with Sept 11 is "civil
liberty." The one-year anniversary
not only marks a significant day in history
but also the continuation of an
assault on the Bill of Rights.
"The U.S. Department of Justice
continues to wage its own war to keep
Americans in the dark about its vast
incursions into their civil liberties —
including secret arrests and deportations,
lowered barriers to covert searches, and
a 'don’t ask, won’t tell' attitude toward
public scrutiny," Richard Byrne writes in the Boston Phoenix.
